TRADE ACCEPTED

Due to Memphis and Dallas being over the cap, the 15% trade rule is invoked. Memphis and Dallas had to be no more than 115% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
t

Dallas does it to get more athletic and shore up the center position with two more young guys. Losing Howard hurts, but we have enough strength at the 2/3 and if Swift ever reaches his potential it'll be worthwhile.

Memphis saves some money by trading the smaller expiring contract of Outlaw for that of Laettner. They seem to have given up on Tsakalides and wouldn't have signed Cardinal if they still had a use for Outlaw. Swift is a restricted free agent they might lose anyway. Bradley and Laettner are some help in the center. Delk doesn't help them, probably, but Howard is a younger, more athletic James Posey.
